Anhydrite or anhydrous calcium sulfate (CaSO4) is an important naturally-occurring compound found in many limestone formations and karst topography. This material has recently gained more significance to the cement industry as a substitute for gypsum—calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4·2H2O). Anhydrite shows great efficacy as a cement setting retardant. This allows valuable time for other phases to form which enhances the cement’s tensile properties.

Recycling has become a term that cannot be ignored in the industrial world. Recycling is roughly classified into (1) “re-use”, utilizing something again for the same purpose, (2) “material recycling”, returning something into the original material for subsequent use, (3) “chemical recycling”, changing something into another material for subsequent use, and (4) “thermal recycling”, using something for thermal energy. New technologies utilizing fly ash of urban refuse as cement material (chemical recycling) and converting urban refuse into solid fuel (thermal recycling) have attracted a lot of attention. In X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, it is possible to perform qualitative and quantitative…

Electric arc furnace steelmaking, also called EAF, typically uses Direct reduced iron or ferrous scrap as the feed materials. In the electric arc furnace lime (calcium) is added to remove silicates and phosphorus. With the addition of oxygen the ferrous materials are essentially melted, while the remaining material is changed to oxide forms. The slag by-product, also called EAFS, contains relatively constant levels of these oxides and variable amounts of iron, calcium and silicon oxides. Monitoring the FeO levels indicates the efficiency of the process, while monitoring the ratio of CaO to SiO2 gives information on the basicity of the…
Building materials play an important role in today’s industry. Their composition has a big influence on material properties and fields of application, as well as on their behavior in ecosystems and recyclability. Tightly monitoring the elemental composition of building materials, such as cement, is key for ensuring their quality, and this composition is thus routinely measured in industrial quality control labs.
Electroplating baths are widely used to deposit a metal coating on a conductive surface by immersion of the objects into a bath solution and application of an electric current. The purpose of this can vary in a wide range that includes decorative silver, gold, or palladium finish on jewelry or the enhancement of physical properties such as corrosion prevention, conductivity, hardness, or durability changes to materials. Manufacturers of plating baths need to establish optimum specifications for their plating solutions and must take action to maintain their formulations and to prevent problems related to improper levels of bath constituents and contaminants….
ultrasound is one of the cleanest, cheapest and most efficient ways to disperse particles and materials into solvents or water. The mixing of powders into liquids is a common step in the formulation of various products, such as paint, ink, shampoo, beverages, or coatings and more recently graphene and carbomb nano tubes (CNTs) and even the hydration of cement for the construction industry.
In the cement industry, x-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) is one of the major techniques employed for raw material and final product quality control. Typically, “pressed pellet” sample preparation is used; however, the disadvantage to this is that this technique shows only relative data to known and accepted reference methods like fusion or wet chemistry and takes no account of the different mineralogical effects that may or may not occur. The FLUXANA VITRIOX ELECTRIC uses borate fusion to eliminate these negative effects and achieve high accuracy in XRF analysis. Fusion removes particle size effects and creates homogenious samples with perfect surfaces….
To use X-ray fluorescence analysis (XRF) quantitatively, the analytical system must be calibrated. The usual procedure begins with the purchase of reference materials as powders. These samples are prepared as, e.g., fusion beads, they are measured as calibration standards and, finally, calibration and validation are conducted. Depending on the user’s experience level, the entire method development procedure is more or less cost and time intensive. FLUXANA has spent a great deal of time with the task of reducing these costs and, thus, also the development time for the user. The results are “ready-to-go” calibration sets for various industries that have…
